May 19, 2009I may be one of the few but i like Daniel Craig as Bond. I think they have done a good job so far keeping the throttle all the way on high and keep the explosions coming. Its a standard Bond fare which has to be taken in a very much reboot fashion over just continuing the 007 mov... ...( read more )

May 3, 2009Quantum of Solace is your basic action flick. After 'Casino Royale', this James Bond film was quite a disappointment. The action is good, the stunts are good, and Craig is wonderful, but the storyline felt disjointed. Possibly the film falls a bit flat as a Bond film due to a ... ...( read more )

April 20, 2009I liked it. As good and fun as Casino Royale. Daniel Craig continues to take the Bond character in an interesting direction. The title and opening song were a bit awkward, but they've grown on me. Some of the action sequences (eg. the boat rescue) were a bit too fast-cutting to f... ...( read more )

April 17, 2009The movie starts off overloaded with action and rarely stops, but when it does the film seems to drag on quite a bit. Daniel Craig is back in great form as Bond, but he lacks the charismatic kick he had in his debut outing. Judi Dench's cynicism is wearing very thin after spendin... ...( read more )

Despite its faults, I can still say with relative assurance this is the best Bond film since "Thunderball." full review

Quantum of Solace prompts the question: Is revenge the only possible motive for large-scale movie heroism these days? full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Quantum of Solace is best when director Marc Forster allows his star the latitude to explore emotions that, until Craig stepped into the shoes of the character, we didn't know Bond had. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
If you held up your thumb over Daniel Craig's face and took in the mayhem around him, you'd think you were watching The Bourne Simulation rather than the 22nd (and shortest-ever) ode to Ian Fleming's ... full review

Frankly, Quantum of Solace is just one exasperated dressing down away from being Lethal Weapon 9. full review

Michael Sragow, The Baltimore Sun
An entertaining mess full of jarring editing and artsy touches. full review

Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
Solace turns 007 into a bore. Even worse, he's a bore with once killer moves that are impossible to appreciate viewed through Forster's distorted touch. full review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Not every director is well-suited to Bondland. "There's something horribly efficient about you," Kurylenko says to Craig at one point. The same goes for the film. full review
November 13, 2008
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
It delivers the goods in bloody high style: explosively, sexily, and with 007 shaken (not stirred) to his icy core. full review

January 19, 2009Worst ever Bond film. Action scenes were stilted, too fast, couldn't see what was going on flicking from scene to scene. Rubbish villian stealing water! Good aeroplane sequence but the rest was tosh. Casino Royale was superb, i almost walked out of this one. Dud.

December 29, 2008Daniel Craig did a killer job as the new Bond!! I perfered this one over the first one. You never know what's going to happen to Bond. But, no matter what kind of situation Bond get's into, he's alwasys able to get himself out of!! It might seem as Bond is at the end but, he always turns the tables on the "bad guy". So, to conclud my output on Bond,
HE KICKS SERIOUS BOOTY!! -

November 24, 2008I'll say the same thing I just said in my review>>
This is the worst James Bond movies EVER!!!
It would be a bad movie if it wasn't a Bond movie.
It had alot of action and I still actually fell asleep a couple times.
I woke up the last time finding out the plot of this wretched movie.
A secret society that MI6 knows nothing about buys in a Dictator in south America and aquires land to take control of the water supply so they can then charge double as south America's only utilitys provider!!!
I would have Given this Movie a half star but the action was good but the Plot was so bad I couldn't rate it any higher then 1 star.
Don't get me wrong, I like Bond movies but this is pathetic. -

November 12, 2008Rubbish for the most part. Pigott-Smith had the only good lines, at least.
